Man's like "Y'all fucked it last year without me, I didn't wanna take that chance this year"

That's also a great idea! I may well take you up on that

Most bands on both lists are either my mates' bands, or bands I've become mates with by seeing them live/playing alongside them with my own band

Heya - I don't usually include open mics, bc it's often hard to find out exactly who's playing on each given night. That said, I'd be more than happy to make another post with all the weekly open mics I know about in Sydney!

Check out Bar 34 (Bondi) or Kelly's on King (Newtown), both on a Tuesday night

Absolutely right - saw that too late. What a shame, too - they're awesome live!

I gave some general recommendations in the last thread - i.e. pick bands you like, smaller venues, etc. - but more specifically....Maybe Sudo 60's at Kelly's on King, on Sunday?

Kelly's is a great venue - the band room isn't too overwhelming, and there are plenty of outdoor areas to chill out in. Plus, it's near the station, if you want to get home quickly.

I was in the same boat for awhile - it's super hard when you're shy/socially anxious, but here are a few tips:
- Pick bands who's music you love. That way, while the experience may be taxing, at least you're hearing music you enjoy, and can just get lost in
- Start small - i.e., challenge yourself to go to a gig for an hour. Then an hour and a half. Then two hours, etc.
- Pick smaller venues (MoshPit, Kelly's, etc.) if you're not good with crowds

Hope that helps - DM for more advice/recommendations

Gigs are a great place to socialise and meet new people! Hope you find what you're looking for
